Highlights
Explore San Basilio de Palenque, a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage site in the Bolívar department of Colombia. Renowned as the first community of freed slaves in South-America, it was founded by African slaves called Cimarrones, who escaped during the Spanish colonial era.
Despite centuries passing, San Basilio has diligently preserved its African culture and language, Palenquero. During your visit, immerse yourself in the rich history, food, music, and language of this remarkable community.
